x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

4-2(x+7) = 3(x+5)

Distribute

4 - 2x-14 = 3x+15

Combine like terms

-2x-10 = 3x+15

Add 2x to each side

-2x-10 +2x =3x+2x+15

-10 = 5x+15

Subtract 15 from each side

-10-15 = 5x+15-15

-25 = 5x

Divide by 5

-25/5 = 5x/5

-5 =x

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18

9x
